Realtime FFT (No GUI)

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

I am new to GNURadio. I need to do realtime FFT (GUI is not required).
I need to feed this FFT to other components of the system so I ned
simple FFT values of the signal. I tried hacking the fftsink2.py and
was able to get the values but the problem is that the rate of data is
very less. I am getting 15-16 FFTs in a second. This is too less.

Can you suggest me a way to improve this?

Thanks.

Just use the gr.fft_vcc block.

On a related note, I am curious if anyone has looked into using djbfft
as opposed to FFTW? I know it hasn’t been updated in a while, but it
appears to be extremely fast:

Just wondering.

Hi,

I tried using that. But I think it returns some sptr datatype and I am
unsure how to use it and get all the data points out of it.

Can you guide me through that?

Thanks.

Sorry, no.

Thanks for the response.

But, how can I interface the USRP and FFTW or DJTFFT?
